How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I'm beginning to feel a bit more hopeful about the future, which is symbolized by this image called Dawn. The symmetry and perfection of the graphic represents a feeling of cohesion and capability, something we have all lost during the past year. I've been able to complete some projects this week that were impossible to finish because I was distracted and unable to concentrate. A lot of this has happened because I was finally able to find an appointment for a vaccine, which is scheduled for tomorrow at 6:39pm. At the same time that I feel empowered by this, I am also disappointed that this pandemic has turned just about everything into a chore. It will be some time before we are once again able to enjoy our spontaneity together.

Some people are feeling intense feelings right now as a result of the pandemic. Is anything making you especially sad, angry, or hopeful right now? If so, what's on your mind?
There are a lot of feelings being experienced right now and for me personally it's sadness. I feel sad because with the restrictions being lifted this week I feel like we are setting ourselves up to fail. I feel like we just got to a good solid point and while COVID-19 is around it is always going to be something we watch out for yearly. That saddens me. It makes me sad to know that there are people not taking any of this seriously and want to claim that they "knew it all along". Then there are the people who did everything they were asked and are getting treated badly by other people calling them "sheep". Look we all have our own opinions on what to do or how to do it but antagonizing others needs to stop. When are people going to be kind to one another?
